From radio waves to campfires

 There’s something about preparing for a camping trip that feels almost as exciting as the trip itself. Maybe it’s the anticipation, or the quiet promise of unplugging for a while. With my trip just two weeks away, I’ve found myself doing what any soon-to-be camper does—making lists, checking gear, and wandering through stores imagining all the possibilities waiting out there.

This time, though, it feels different. This isn’t just any trip it’s my first time camping. That realization brings a mix of excitement and uncertainty. I don’t just want to have everything I need; I want to get it right. Every item I pick up feels important, like it’s part of a bigger learning experience I’m about to step into.

Today, while driving between errands, something unexpected happened. A familiar melody drifted through the radio—“Don’t Dream It’s Over.” Instantly, I was transported. It wasn’t just the song; it was the feeling tied to it. Warm evenings, simpler days, and memories of times when everything felt a little lighter. It reminded me of why I want to try camping in the first place: not just to get away, but to reconnect—with nature, with memories, and maybe even discover something new about myself.

And I can't wait to see where this takes me.

Choosing Presence: A Day of Stillness, Sound, and Self”

 Today feels like one of those rare, perfectly aligned moments where everything slows down just enough for me to truly breathe it all in. I took my practice outside, letting nature hold space for me as I meditated under the open sky. The gentle breeze, the warmth of the sun, and the quiet rhythm of the world around me created the perfect environment to reconnect with my energy and intuition. As a tarot reader, I’m always reminding others to pause and listen inward—but today was a reminder for myself. Sitting in stillness, I allowed my thoughts to settle like dust, making room for clarity, peace, and subtle messages from within. I also brought along my new panda drum, and what a beautiful addition it turned out to be. Its soft, grounding tones seemed to echo the heartbeat of the earth itself. Each note carried intention, helping me deepen my meditation and open my energy in a gentle, nurturing way. There’s something incredibly healing about combining sound with stillness—it creates ...

My first tarot booth for a party

Today was exciting but also a bit nerve wracking Iset up my first tarot reading booth at a party. I’ve read for people before, but this felt completely different. Walking into a room full of strangers and offering something so personal really pushed me out of my comfort zone. Setting up my table felt like a small ritual and somehow it became a calm spot in the middle of all the noise. I wasn’t sure how people would react at first, but they started coming up pretty quickly, which helped me relax. Every person felt different some had specific questions, while others were just curious. Some readings were light and fun, and others got surprisingly deep for a party setting. It ended up feeling more like a series of real conversations than just readings. There were moments when I doubted myself or felt a bit overwhelmed, but I grew more confident as I went. By the end, I was tired in a good way, and honestly really proud of myself. I realized that tarot can happen anywhere, not just in quiet...

Tarot in nature

Reading tarot in nature feels like stepping into a living version of the deck. The cards don’t just sit in your hands they start showing up all around you. Pull The Fool, and the open trail ahead suddenly feels like an invitation. Draw The  star near water, and the calm reflection becomes part of the message. Even a simple breeze can echo the energy of swords, while sunlight flickering through trees feels like wands in motion. Outdoors, tarot becomes less about memorizing meanings and more about noticing connections. A falling leaf during a reading about release, or a bird appearing at just the right moment, can feel like the world is gently responding. It’s simple pull a card, then look around. Nature has a way of reflecting the message back to you no guide book needed.
